More process on designing my version of pinocchio.

He found a sewing chest and decided to make himself a needle sword and button shield to become a knight.

Here are some photos of his adventures.

Working on two different children book things at the moment. On the one side a re-interpretation of pinocchio for university and on the other side a mini-book with bunnies for my grandmas birthday.

Drawing animals and faces (60s and 90s) to extend my palette of animals and expressions!

EDIT: Also did a thing were I let https://duckduckgo.com/?q=random+color&t=lm&ia=answer give me a random color and then I built a color palette around it. As well as some doodles with the resulting palettes.

late upload as I had a long train ride yesterday.

Drew some interesting buildings I saw passing by the train window.

Gotta do a perspective practice streak soon-ish I think, want to improve there.

colored a sketch of some rainmonsters and doodled a bit

chill entry. watching youtube and filling a sketchbook page - trying to get back to go bed in time ^

a couple of illustrations of places/things in my head & experimenting a bit with styles

Drawing on top of my photos, thinking up little monsters that could live in those tiny worlds

Experimenting with different styles for plants, a study of an acorn and a study of a sparrow

A grumpy monster, wearing an acorn as head, as well as some random sketches to practice making color palettes from scratch, and a study of a cool window out of my inspiration collection

Last one in my color theory practice series. This Youtube Tutorial by Blenderguru is the best I found so far, can really recommend:
Not sure if this really counts as "daily art", but I did some quick thumbs to try out the different color harmonies.

Today I tried out a technique called "color breaks"/ basically creating a set of color thumbnails to choose from

(see http://www.simplearttips.com/tutorials-blog/color-...)

The lighthouse at sunset is a potential scenery for our game :)

Trying out a new shading method from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnG1X-JAHys

Doing some color theory exercises until the rest of the week, starting with the very basics.

Here are some doodles with analogue color palettes and some notes from a video.

Spend way too much time on this, but I think it payed off in the end :)

Continued developing the style for our game today. Thinking of combining inked outlines & structures (similiar to Kay Nielsen) with watery aquarelle colors. Besides that I worked on some thumbnails for places. Thinking of using a shabby lighthouse as home of the main characters family.

WIP style exploration for a game project. Plants didn't turn out as wanted, so for now here are some nice rocks.

Today I did a study of a "sunken ruin" in a nearby forest. It was getting dark, sorry for the photo quality.

I think it collapsed because the river undermined parts of the structure. And then it broke at it's weakest spot (where I think there was some sort of metal plate, acting as a watergate).

Today I did some studies in the forest again. I found a nice pond with the first frog/toad-"eggs" swimming in it's water, right among some young reed plants.

Tweaked the light and composition of and older gamelevel, to prepare it for my portfolio.
